A lot of coping in this thread lol holy ****. Pope is the worst recruiter of all time and you still got folks defending him. Any other coach at UK would have been a lay up for this kid with all of the Nike connections and he is from Kentucky.
You gonna count those ones in the 40s and 50s? haha. No one cares anymore about the past buddyHow many total wins do you have?
How many titles you have?

For them maybeWe may get another top notch player now. On the other hand, Kansas has no money left, and I don’t know if they even have enough players to field a team.
That all-time wins gap should start getting wider now
Stokes is a high school senior and the best classy thing we can do is not bad mouth the kid and let Pope's inability to recruit be our frustration. I hope the kid has a great future and if we face Kansas I hope we kick his and Kansas butt to the curb. We need to hope Pope can find a couple more kids that are actually starter level talent.So is Pope.

Ha ha haHe’s a bum, we didn’t need him, we got Hawthorne, we’re set for next season.
People are gonna have to take seriously that UK is being used just to up their value.A lot of coping in this thread lol holy ****. Pope is the worst recruiter of all time and you still got folks defending him.
Not even top 5 anymore. Kansas, Duke, Uconn, UNC, Florida, and even Nova are better than you guys the last 30 years.
He’s not a loser. Maybe he doesn’t work out. CaliparI didn’t work out his last 4 seasons here.Well we are stuck with a loser coach who can't recruit.
Is that a promise? I definitely support you in sticking with your decision. Just cease all interest and comments until we have a coach that you can be something other than 100% non-stop negative about.All my focus will be on football! Pope fatigue
Pope is a clown that good players won't come for. He's a dead man walkingThe kid has always been an immature clown.
Our coaching staff was a bunch of desperate clowns that got strung along.
Glad to move on from him.
Bad night for Pope. But could you imagine him handling Stokes when things aren’t going well? Would have been a disaster.
Get Morton, a star(Joksimovic is my guy at this moment as he could play the 2 and 3), and I’d like a backup big too potentially.
See what happens from there
And yet under Pope we still have the all time win lead. That says more about your program than ours.Barely
Not even top 5 anymore. Kansas, Duke, Uconn, UNC, Florida, and even Nova are better than you guys the last 30 years.
Drama Queen.
How is it possible to know if Kansas does not have any money left? Where do we look to see how much money schools have left? Does Louisville, Florida, Tennessee, or Vandy have any if so how much do they each have?For them maybe
I have a feeling he enjoys taking it up the butt as much as he takes it in recruiting.He put everything in the Stokes basket and took it up the butt.
It takes a TON to say we are worse off now than the last 4-5 years when Cal mailed it in , but ..... gulp .. This type of CRAP shouldnt be tolerated . We are not relevant and thats unforgivable . Take care F2MPope can’t land anyone. This is just the largest example yet. He’s cooked and he sucks.
Knew you’d be here making some pathetic excuse as to why this is good for pope.Stokes is a turd. He really is. It won’t surprise me if this turd fakes numerous injuries most of the season.
That guy is not wrong. I will be shocked if we have a same or better year than this following year. Now imagine Moreno going to NBA.glad I’m not the only one to feel that way.
So you also contend that our program is on life support?You’ll be saying this same dumb **** after our 14th loss next season.
Pope sure isn’t worth the headache.I doubt this head case ends up being worth the headache.
This is where I'm at. We'll have to suffer through next season but that'll be it. At that point put a package together for Donovan and if he's still flakey and says no, offer Jai Lucas. Everyone, including Pope, knew he had to deliver with this class and he's failed.this may not be a bad thing. Pope has dug himself a hole now. Next year may be his last. I think UK backs up the Brinks truck and tries to land Donovan.
Or...........maybe Stokes dives for a ball by their bench & trying to catch his fall, he grabs Self's rug & pulls it offYeah! Now we get to see Stokes dunk on us in the top early season games!
Definitely! Team Stein! Have fun watching uk lose 20 games! Louisville, Florida and Kansas will be blowouts btwIs that a promise? I definitely support you in sticking with your decision. Just cease all interest and comments until we have a coach that you can be something other than 100% non-stop negative about.
He's the deadest of dead men walking!I wonder if we could have gotten Stokes if this was a year ago when Pope had much more support. But the rumors that NIL money is being pulled, combined with Stokes being a "must-get" for Pope's job being on the line.. and we still cant just outright buy ourselves the first big recruit in 3 years.. really says something.
Like others have said, dead man walking.

I'm with you in rooting on Coach Stein. I obviously could have done without the childish parting shot once again demeaning our BB team though.Definitely! Team Stein! Have fun watching uk lose 20 games! Louisville, Florida and Kansas will be blowouts btw
Jeez you people are delusional. Insane.We may get another top notch player now. On the other hand, Kansas has no money left, and I don’t know if they even have enough players to field a team.

I was one of the people who wanted Stokes but I don't think Pope could handle Stokes drama/personality. So I questioned that.He arrispily wear sunglasses? What a douche. I’m sorry. Great player but dude is full of himself.
